In my free time I enjoy canning and preserving food (well, I enjoy the results of it, ha!), baking, library storytimes, and being involved in our church’s Bible study, meals for the sick, and other various ministries. Within reason, we like to give our kids a nice Christmas with presents they enjoy.

Make more time for myself. I work full time, blog full time, have a husband to pay attention to, dinners to cook, and a house to clean. Not to mention family I like to spend time with! They can take us anywhere and don’t even have to cost a penny (think library)! The beauty of books? I dare you.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). Eventually, when I was married and working at a library I ordered my own copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette–and I still have it!
